This assignment was to build a model of our childhood home out of cardboard or other cheap material.
 |
I chose cardboard and hot glue. Woo!!
|
 |
| The childhood home that I chose, was the one I lived in from when I was 1 and a half until I was 8. It had 3 levels: basement, main floor, and upper floor. The upper floor was above the garage and you only had to go up half a flight of stars to get to it. |
 |
| Because of the top windows and the vaulted ceilings of the house, it was rough figuring out the dimensions and angels of the roof. I constructed the front of the house first. |
 |
| Then added the back. |
 |
| Paint time! I used acrylics and sharpie for the wood details above the garage. |
 |
| It was a pretty cool assignment. While working on constructing the house, I thought about a lot of memories that I wouldn't have thought about otherwise. |
 |
| Also, putting the house outside in Dunway park was a really neat experience, because I got to see my model in an environment similar to where my house actually was. This also sparked some more cool memories about the yard and neighborhood. |
